Thanks Scott! I just sent a letter to our NC senators. I don't see this as just political at all. HOAs as they currently exist prevent many hams from participating and enjoying Collins.

It looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel for Hams in HOA neighborhoods. Please look at
http://www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-parity-act
and send your support by clicking on
https://arrl.rallycongress.net/ctas/urge-senate-to-support-amateur-radio-parity-act
and filling out the form. In most areas finding a house without HOA restrictions is almost impossible.

This is not just politics, this is your right for "reasonable accommodation" when attempting to erect any kind of antenna, that isn't for satellite TV (precedent is already there for them) when living in an apartment or governed under an HOA, which is NOT just a small percentage of people. Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, just try buying a house that was built in the last 25 years that isn't under an HOA. This is a BIG deal, and is going to be an even BIGGER problem as time goes on. In the past year or so there has been at least one ham who joined this reflector, solely to sell his prized Collins gear because he was unable to install any kind of antenna. Is this what you want?

Let's keep politics off of our Reflector.
We're here for Collins. Not political diatribes.

We have an opportunity to positively affect Amateur Radio for years to come. H.R. 1301, the Amateur Radio Parity Act, has unanimously passed the House of Representatives and moved on to the Senate for consideration. All you need to do is spend two minutes of your time to send an email to your two Senators supporting the Bill. By doing so, you will have helped the future of Amateur Radio by guaranteeing our ability to have an effective outdoor antenna in a deed-restricted community.
The number of people living in such communities grows exponentially each year. Often, a ham homeowner has no choice but to live in a community restricted by covenants. There are nearly 3/4 of a million licensed hams in the United States, more than ever before. But that may change if we are forced to live in a community that refuses to allow an antenna.
Help yourself and help your fellow hams. Go to this link:
https://arrl.rallycongress.net/ctas/urge-senate-to-support-amateur-radio-parity-act
Enter your zip code and follow the prompts. The letters are there.
All you need to do is fill in the blanks, hit save, then send.
That’s it. Under 2 minutes and you’re done.
If you haven’t yet done so, please do so today. Your voice counts!
